Great Western Main Line Faringdon railway station is a closed stone and brick built railway station that served the market town of Faringdon, in Oxfordshire, England and was on the Faringdon branch line.
The line was opened on 1 June 1864,[1] between Faringdon and the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Uffington, with construction funded by a consortium of local business men called the Faringdon Railway Company which was purchased outright by the GWR in 1886.
[1] Freight traffic continued to use the line until 1 July 1963.
Faringdon Town Council proposed in 2005 to reopen the line[3] but it remains closed.
The station building is still extant, having been used for various commercial purposes; it has been a children's nursery since 2002.
